@@BlockheadMoto hey blockhead, I have a serious question to ask about this install. If I were to relocate the turn signals to the forks I wouldn't need to depin anything or buy extra extensions correct? And the notches you made with the grinder, would I have to do that or was that just for the turn signals? I feel like the job would be easier for me if I just relocated the signals.

@Delzona 4 года назад

Great video Blockhead! I just put Z-bars on my Sportster 72 and running the wiring through the bars was very hard! Those H-D bars certainly looked very easy to do! I ended up running a Teflon tube into my bars and put the wiring inside the tube. I would suggest that in the future you should check out KST Kustoms for wire extension. They make different lengths (6,8, and 12”) that have plugs on them, which make it plug and play! No cutting or soldering necessary!

@BlockheadMoto 4 года назад

I’ll look into KST, sounds useful, thanks for the info!

@christophermcmellon558 4 года назад

To add a step in there especially if you have an older bike, its good practice to 'preload' the brake lever when tightening or loosening the switch housing or master cylinder. If you dont do that you risk braking off the little plastic piece for the brake light switch and end up having to replace the whole thing.

@jasonbreedlove495 4 года назад

I know you said Laurel was gonna do alot of the work, but seems she became the supervisor instead. I dig the fact yall work together on so many bikes and show one another how to do things as well.

@timmidkiff1114 4 года назад

@MiliGenkishi 2 года назад

I actually put that same set on my 883 last night. It was my first mod I've ever done, and I was not ready for how much work it was. Super fun and I'm glad I picked bars, it taught me all sorts of important things. All I have left to do is bleed my brakes and I'm good to go. Another funny coincidence is that my name is Wes 🤣

@xRASTAMAN69x 4 года назад

@jessewooton3731 4 года назад

Hey. Just wanted to say how much I'm enjoying your content, and watched this particular episode with interest. First off, I have a damaged hand that prevents me from doing a lot of my own work, even simple things that I know how to do. I recently took my 2017 Iron 883 to a H-D dealer to get my handlebars switched. (bikini beach bars, 2 inches taller, 4 inches wider, 2 inches more pull back). First I was told that it was a straight swap. Then I was told I would need a cable kit to make the swap work. I told them to go ahead. A month later they told me they couldn't get the cable kit through their network, and couldn't find one anywhere. I suggested a kit similar to the one used in this video, and pointed out where to get it. I was then told not to use that kit, it was of inferior quality, they would get a "superior" quality kit from a customizer in California, and priced it to me at more than double the price of the kit in this video. I called the California shop, and they sell the same kit used here. I went to the dealer to get my bike back, and was charged $210 dollars for 2 hours labor, "since they had to try out the bars I paid for to see if they would work." Anyway, keep up the great content, and ride safe.

@aboutmyfathersbusiness8324 4 года назад

BTW Holy WOW! I thought I was the only one doing zip tie brake thing. Learned that after a couple of hours trying to bleed them out fully with no success. Got them close then pumped to a zip tie, ...overnight even...lol P.S. Air escapes out of the master cylinder. Should have a small vent pin hole in the top somewhere, or maybe displaces fluid in the reservoir.

You can pump the brake fluid fron dew caliper tti the master cylinder, as the air always go up you will have a much faster abs easier bleed. And don't have to wait over night.

I'm a Filipina truck driver and I love bikes too. I bought same bike last year iron 883 and only drove it one time on highway and maybe couple times around our neighborhood and this year I wanna change my handle bar, seat, and lower my shocks so I can enjoy my bike this summer 2021. I don't mind paying someone to do it but I like the idea of me helping so I can learn something just like the lady in the video. I've been following you since I got my bike. I do trucking vlogs with small follower. I was just wondering if I could get your service, I can drop my bike anywhere in the US. Hope to hear from you, thanks!

I learned a lot from this video. First that there’s a ton of stuff that goes into changing out handlebars but the most important is that’s why they have mechanics to do this stuff. I enjoy working on things but I am only home for 4 days per month so I’ll drop my bike off and pay them to do this while I’m out working and enjoy the finished product when I get back. Great video though, really enjoyable.

Actuly i came for the pull back fatbar 4 inch. The softail de lux riser would fit my fatboy ( I need 1.25 inch ) He told 186 euro for the left one and 186 euro for the right one.
